[Elecraft] list postings, K3's and K4's

[Robert Strickland]

I've been periodically wondering why there seems to be so few posting to 
the list. I then remind myself that I have a message filter directing 
all K4 messages to a separate bin. Looking there I note that there is a 
great deal of activity/postings. I conclude that the most active list 
members are interested in the K4 or have either bought one or are 
getting ready to do so. That said, I have to believe that the installed 
base of K3's and K3s's is quite large and will remain so. As one of 
these [K3s #11832] I hope that we won't be left in the dust as the K4 
charges by. While fully recognizing the superiority of the K4, my 
circumstances don't include a new radio; also, I'm still learning how to 
maximize utilization of the K3s in front of me. Perhaps it's analogous 
to the relationship between brand new Porsche 911's and 911's from 
previous years: the older ones still pack a punch that most drivers can 
hardly access. All such matters aside, I'm happy for Elecraft's success 
and hope and trust that it continues into the future.
